ULI' COIINSCIOI' APPLIED ART nm School of Applied Art continues to offer a program emphasizing the importance of effective technical training as a means to indi- vidual creative art expression. The requirements of professional art are stressed and the high standards of professional accomplishment are kept constantly in mind as a goal for student achievement. The vital importance of the indi- vidual point of view and natural aptitude are never lost sight of in the studentis development. Techniques of teaching are carefully scrutinized and fundamentals reiterated. Progressive ideas in art education have been and are being developed in the work of the School of Applied Art. This is particularly evident in the notable departure in our work in first year drawing, combining an orientation of art study with a speciHc class in observation, called Moclels in Motion. The use and development of the Rochester Art Scale continues to be an outstanding part of the Art Sc-hool's curricula. The purpose of the school is to offer comprehensive educational experience and training enabling the art student to partici- pate not only in the field of art but also in the varied activities of community life. INDUSTRIAL CHEMISTRY WELVE years ago, the Co-operative Industrial Chemistry Course began its work with very ordinary physical equipment but with a determination to develop a distinctive instructional program to prepare students to take responsible places in industry. The class of 1938 will be the tenth graduating class. Of the entire number of graduates, all but a few have remained in the field of their choice. They are employed in industries using chemical processes in manufacturing. In this, the twelfth year of its existence, the Co-operative Industrial Chemistry Course is equipped to serve its students more effectively than ever before. The technological laboratory, with equipment for chemical manufacturing, is unique. The course of study is being revised and renewed continuously with the assistance of industry. The department looks to the future with conhdence and with the hope that it may serve its students ever more effectively. Chemical applications i11 manufacturing, new products, new uses for materials-these are a few of the many developments that challenge the trained chemist. It is the aim ol' the department to aid its students in meeting this challenge. ALI ItI'lIJ A. JUIINS f'mn1.s-vlor R H M I K I N IQARLE M. MORECOCK f7oun.velor ELECTRICAL 1'l'IiOXIM.-KTEIA' four hundred young men have completed programs of training offered by the Electrical Department during the past ten years. and are at present employed in various branches of the electrical field. Electrical generation and distributiong railway sig- nallingg construction and maintenanceg and man- agement and manufacturing, have each claimed from ten to fifteen per cent. Other branches such as radio, telephony. and sales and service, have provided opportunities for three to seven per cent. Because of their competence, high ideals and standards, graduates have won for this department the confidence and eo- operation of many employers throughout this section. Co-operative employment which provides practical training as well as financial aidg individualized instruction which permits the scholastic program to be adjusted to each student's needs and abilities: aml a well organized counseling service are features of the training provided. FOOD ADMINISTRATION x'1'1f:ul-:s'r in food has always been universal, but during the past two decades interest in the scientific aspects of food as it is related to health has created a profession of special interest to women. The Food Administration Department with its counseling service and individualized curriculum, offers to its students the two-fold opportunity to secure both academic training and practical experience. To the hospital dietitian it provides a compre- hensive course of scientific study and interneship in hospital dietary departments: to the commer- cial food manager, a sound training in food administration and apprenticeship in various branches of food establishments: and to the pros- pective homemaker, preparation for a professional career which will function equally well in the effective management of a home. ALICE J. KIRK f'o1m.w:lor R Q M I K I N T manly MAY D. BENEDICT Coilmrclor GENERAL HOME ECONOMICS OUNG women complete high school, private school, or junior college and realize that they have a personal interest in household arts and family life as a new goal for their progressive education. The two-year curriculum in General Home Eco- nomics offers a full time program to girls who wish to qualify for competent home management. Individual programs are arranged for each girl and are diversified as to subjects studied and the total hours spent in school. A choice of subjects I . X 1 u is offered from a. number of technicali courses among which are I4 ood I reparation and SCFVICC, 1'ood Purchasing, Related lood In- formation, Clothing Problems, Dress Construction, Home Mztliageiilelit, Practice in the Home Management I-Iouse, Housing, Child Care and Development and Family Rela- tions. In addition several liberal courses and a number of physical activities and sports are offered. Individual programs for less than two years may be selected when a girl is ready to profit from a special arrangement of courses. MECHANICAL AND CONSTRUCTION SUPERVISION IIE lVIec-hanical Department continues to serve increasing numbers of students in securing both basic and specific training for positions in the ever-widening Meclialiical field. Considerable attention is given to varying interests and abilities of students, and individualized instruction allows for a wide choice in the subject matter that is taught after fundamentals have been mastered. The Building industry has in the past depended more or less upon young men trained in schools of civil or mechanical engineering for its supervisory l personnel. but in recent years a number of schools have offered courses aimed to train directly for supervisory jobs in the construction field. The Institute is among the first to offer such training and the course is filling a definite need. The train- ing is basic and is carried on by the individualized method. l 'aculty members of both departments are en- couraged to spend part of each year either in industrial employment or in advanced study in one ol' the universities in order to acquaint. them- selves with the latest developments and to be of more value professionally. IIICR Nl AN NI A RTI X l.'n1m.vclnr R R M I K I N R R M C. B. NEBLETTE Counselor PHOTOGRAPI-IIC TECHNOLOGY nr: Department of Photographic Technology E conceives education as a process in which the individual, by his own efforts and the counsel of others, develops not only teclmical understanding a11d skill in his chosen profession but a broader perspective of himself as a member of society. To this end, the Department endeavors to aid the student in mastering those skills which are neces- sary to teclmical achievement, its aim being competence rather than simply an understanding of principles and processes. It realizes, however, that technical proficiency alone is insufficientg hence, it attempts, through various procedures, to visualization, all of which are closely connected with creative thinking, and through intelligent and sympathetic guidance to give direction and meaning to life. develop appreciation, imagination and PUBLISHING AND PRINTING I-119 Department of Publishing and Printing was organized during the summer of 1937 at the suggestion of the New York State Publishers Association. As a nucleus, the Institute took over the equipment of the Empire State School of Printing of Ithaca, N. Y. 111 The growth of the new department at the Institute has been rapid. In the short space of less than a year it has become one of the best equipped schools of printing in the country. Manufacturers have co-operated wholeheartedly in securing the finest equip- ment. Interest in the project is widespread among leaders in the publishing and printing industries. National figures interested in printing education are enthusiastic about the developments here. Already the department is known in all sec- tions of the country. The courses offered are planned on a teclmical level comparable to that of tl1e other curricula at the Institute. Since there are very few schools in the United States which give professional courses in the field, the Department of Publishing and Printing has rare opportunity to make distinct contributions to the field of printing education. Ill The students in the first Freshman class in the department have come from various parts of New York State and from Pennsylvania. Pros- pects for the future point to a student body repre- sentative of a constantly expanding territory. BYRON G. CULVER Counselor I K I N Twenty-one Twenty-Iwo EDWINA B. HOGADONE l'ou nsclor RETAILING I-IE important part that the retailer plays in our everyday life can not be underestimated. In the process of distribution he is the key person who anticipates and satisfies the needs of the consumer. The work of this department is carefully planned to meet the ever changing re- quirements of this profession and to prepare young 111011 and women for their place in the field. In addition to a carefully prepared curricula, we are adding new equipment to assist in our work. This past year we have built a special Retail Laboratory including a store set up and display equipment in order to give our students opportunity to practice selling and to set up displays under typical store conditions. From time to time faculty members renew their store experience in order to provide students of this department with the latest knowledge of trends and new developments in retailing. SOCIAL SCIENCES HE Department of the Social Sciences, often referred to as The Liberal Department, furnishes to all the departments instruction in Economics, Psychology, Philosophy, Industrial Management, and other non-technical fields of activity. Educational Research, Health Education, and Publicity and Public Relations are also functions of this depart- ment. On an organization chart, therefore, the Liberal Department would be listed as a Service Departmentf' Members of the Liberal staff enjoy students in the diderent departments of the Insti- tuteg no one of them is confined in his teaching schedule to one department exclusively. I ' i The Rochester Athenaeum and Mechanics Insti- tute has taken a leading part among teclmieal schools of the country in recognizing that modern life demands more of its participants than tech- nical proiciency. The Department of the Social Sciences was set up to provide a wider range of experiences for students-to provide activities that would tend to broaden the studentis outlook and to integrate his entire program toward an adequate philosophy of living. the advantage of contacting all of the CALVIN C.

D M I K I N a o R G A N I Z A T I O f S smym o MANY of us this year will be the final chapter in our studies. Years will pass and We will all scatter to parts of the World, but no matter Where our destination will be tomorrow, we will always have the outstanding vision of school life at tl1e Athenaeum. At times we will think of the problems that confronted us in our studiesg of our joys in sororities, fraternities, Glee Club, etc., of the willing co-operation of our faculty, and of our classmates. lVIany of us will return as Alumni and others will never return, but to our Alma Mater' We express our loyalty and appreciation for our accomplishments. The Student Council joins the school in ex- tending its appreciation to students who have striven continuously to promote friendship, sportsmanship, and to encourage high ideals at the Athenaeum. In our co-operation We are smoothing the road to our future ideals. In years to come may the Athenaeum feel proud of her students and Alumni, and may her name live forever. We unite to defend her name.

The Executive Council is composed of class representatives from each departmentg while the General Council includes three members plus a repre- sentative from each student activity. Their objectives are self-govermnent, pro- motion of extra-curricular activities, maintainance of high ideals, scholarship and sportsmanship. In the past year the council with the co-operation of the student body has been able to accomplish a great deal. The appropriation of 215150 for the purchase of 11on- teehnical books for the Institute library was o11e of the first things the Council did. The committee, headed by Joseph Musgrove and Mary Muir, selected a line collection of books which are available to the students and faculty. During the second semester, at the request of the students, assemblies were sched- uled monthly and various organizations participated. The Glee Club, Art League and Retailing Department were among the first to present programs. The Student Council held an awards' assembly later in the year. The men were fortunate to have provision made for smoking in the buildings. The council with the approval of the Policy Committee has improvised a smoking room near the boys' gym. Swimming for men was initiated at the Central Y.M.C.A. pool each week. This, however, did not prove successful. Noon dancing, with music provided by the Freshman band and the Student Associationis Victrola, was very successful. Students used this opportunity to meet the students in other courses. Men's and women's activities expanded favorably and provisions were made to support their interests. Tennis, golf, and riding were very popular. The freshmen were welcomed in October by a Student Mixer and reception insti- gated by the Council. The representative to the executive committee and the general council with the co-operation of the entire student body made possible these various accom- plislnnents. It was the assistance of our Faculty Advisor that enabled us to progress so forcefully. The council appreciates the co-operation of the student body and the various organizations that made it possible for the Council to fulfill its objectives.

They continued independent ol' each other, except for occasional concerts and operettas. In the Fall ol' 1930, the two or,eganizations merged togetller forming the Glee Club of Nlechanics Institute. The Glee Club was rather late getting' started this year due to the fact that no suitable meeting place could be found. 'l'he Club rapidly gained momentum after it once got started: however, i11 its new home at the Brick Church Institute, and under the able direction ol' Mr. Kcndell, it has stimulated much enthusiasm through- out the Institute. Early in the year, the Glee Club planned a minstrel show to be held on 1VIarch 11, 1937 in collaboration with the Dramatic Club, and the majority of Tuesday evenings were devoted in molding this Show into shape. The Glee Club wishes to take the opportunity to express its sincere appreciation to Mr. Kcndcll for stimulating interest, and making the past season an outstanding success. To all others who contributed i11 Silly way with this group of activities, the officers also wish to extend their thanks, and hope to have your renewed enthus- iasm back next year.

They have reorganized from a self-supporting organization to one supported by the Student Council, thus making it possible to contribute more to the student-life. Bernice Mohlenhoff was appointed the faculty advisor succeeding Miss Anna May Johnston. Mr. Fred Englert has been the director of the productions and has conducted classes in the art ol' dramatics. The Gargoyles and Glee Club combined their efforts for the first time to produce The Dramic-al, consisting ol' A Little Window to Heaven, a one-act tragedy taking place during the French Revolution, and a Milistrel Show. In November Mr. Englert's comedy A Tea for the Reverend Mr. Pickleseedn was a howling success. Membership in the Gargoyles is open to all students, with consideration given to individual interests including: acting, producing, costuming, make-up, publicity, general business, lighting and other phases ol' dramaties. The Grand Finale of the season was the annual banquet at which time pins were awarded to juniors and seniors who had earned them through their work in the club's activities. New officers for 1938-39 were installed.

WALTEIQ PONVELL R M I K I N PSIMAR lem PSIMAR broke several traditions this year when the first issue was printed the night before school opened in September, and copies of the paper were in the hands of all students the morning of registration. This issue was especially valuable to freshmen who learned from it the programs of the various school organizations. A second major change was that of printing the PSIMAR in newspaper style instead of the traditional magazine form. While a year ago only six issues of the PSIMAR were published, the staff compiled this year at least one paper each block. Plans are underway to print at least two papers each block during the next school year. All students at the Institute received copies of the PSIMAR as part of their Student Association Fee. The plan has worked out very successfully and will be continued next fall. Future issues of the PSIMAR will be printed by the new Publishing and Printing Department of the Institute. This department started printing the paper in January and is doing an excellent piece of work. As in previous years, with students spending alternate months in industry and school, the Ps1MAa staff had to devote a great deal of time evenings to keep the paper going. However, next year when the full time students in the Publishing and Printing will be advanced sufficiently to do editorial work, the demand on co-operative students should be lighter. With students in ten different departments and with such broad interests, the editors of the PSIMAR had to keep stepping to cover all events. To this end the paper included society columns, book columns, humor, poetry, sports and other features and departments.

The progress and good fortunes ol' this depart- ment have been reflected in the activities ol' the elub, which, thereI'ore, had a most outstanding year. The general trend of the club has been decidedly toward progress, and as a matter ol' 1'eeord, the important features of this year's organization may be mentioned here. lVIost significant ol' 'these is the addition, as faculty advisor, ol' hir. lVallacc E. Dobbs, whose sympathetic, stimulating personality has been enthusiastically welcomed. Of a series ol' four competitive exhibitions held by members, one was an interesting experiment in judging, when winners were chosen by the popular opinion ol' members themselves. As an honor for the outstanding print of the year, a new idea will be inaugurated in framing the picture and presenting it to the l'hoto-fl'ech Depart- ment as the first ol' a permanent collection ol' Camera Club work. An occasion ol' great interest was the selection of ten prints to represent the club at the First International Exposition of 1'hotography held in New York City. The regular meetings, supported by the largest membership in the history ol' the club, were made interesting by various speakers and by the combined cntliusiasm, humor, volubility, and esthetic impulses of members.

General meetings were held in the Project Dining Room. where people who are prominent in the various fields ol' retailing held iul'ormal discussions. This was done to give students the opportunity to get first-hand in- forination on store problems and possible solutions. ART LEAGUE Asr September, a group of aspiring Freshmen was being con- ducted on one of the brief but breath-taking cruises commonly known as the annual Art League initiation. To stern commands from upperclassinen and even sterner ones from the persuasive paddles of authority, the group was marched before Algy, Patron Saint of the Art League. There after swearing a solemn oath, the newly sworn members were released to Search for their respec- tive spaghetti suppers, and needless to say-no one failed to find one. ' Mention should be made here that the Art League is an organiza- tion conducted not merely as a background for social functions but for the advancement, as well, of better understanding among students in general, and particularly among art students. The Art League is planning larger and finer entertainments, and even higher ideals for the coming year. The League's secre- tary, Robert Sutherland, reports that the social event to climax the associationis season, will be an elaborate Bal Masque.

Its purpose is to bind together all those who have attended our Alma Mater, to aid all alumni in maintaining contact with the Institute, and to assist the Institute in attaining its objectives. The activities of the Association inelude formal reunions, informal group meetings, and the publication ol' the ofiieial alumni organ, the Alumni illirror. The Annual Banquet at Oak Ilill Country Vlub was a lmgc success and was attended by about seven hundred alulnni and their friends, including the 1938 Seniors cited at Convocation. The latest in swing music was furnished by Norbert. Klein and his orchestra. One of the other highlights of the season was the organization of a Rochester Club for the purpose of binding together local alumni, supporting the parent organization, and promoting the social and cultural interests of the group. This club held its first big event, a dinner dance, at Culver Arms. The allair was atlemlcd by about two lmndred aml fifty-live club members and friends and, judging from its success, the future of the new organization was assured. Similar clubs are being organized in other areas such as: Syracuse, liuffalo, Binghamton, Elmira, Jamestown, and liartford, Conn.

During the past year many successful parties were held. Our Chinese Rush Party was held at the Lotus Tea Room. The Sorority sisters entertained the Pledgees when l.hey were informally welcomed into the group. 'l'he Faculty members entertained the sorority girls at Mrs. lIokc's home. The social activities of the sorority were brought to a close by the annual spring house party on Lake Chautauqua.

'l'he fraternity is proud of it.s record and endeavors to sustain its high ideals and objectives which lead to happy friendships and lmderstanrhng. The fraternity rush dinner was a. huge success at the Buckingham Club with many freshmen present. A sweater dance at the Bevier Hall was sponsored ln conjunction with Sigma .Kappa Delta Sorority in the early part of the year. The major social activities were terminated with the annual spring banquet. and dance which was held at the Oak Ilill Country Club, with a large alumni attendance. The noon lnneheon meetings and many minor social events, such as bowling, skating, and tobogganing, comprised the activities for the year. R Q M I K I N Ninety-tlirec Ninety-four ACTIVITIES LTHOUGII our main interest at the Institute is pursuing a vocation, we find much time is available for participa- tion in school activities. This is fortunate because it carries out tl1e desire to learn to live a full and happy existence. There is a wide enough variety of activities to enable us to enjoy at least one of our interests in group participation. It is these activities that provide us a wealth of pleasant memories to be recalled in our days absent from the Insti- tute. Whether we have been able to obtain high recognition or have remained an unnoticed but essential membe1', we have gained definite benefits from our membership. Working together with fellow enthusiasts, meeting new people, laugh- ing, a11d increasing our own knowledge are only the immediate results. It is not seldom that a similar interest has become the stepping stone between a common existence and a happy one. The activities which vary from classic enterprise to the exer- cise of active sports provide pleasure not only for tl1e partici- pants but also for the spectators. Each group plans some definite entertainment or schedule which it opens to non- members. It is in these that we show others the pleasures gained from school activities. These give an opportunity for developed skill, experience in presentation and management, and public opinion. In this way, students learn activity and follow through to be reminisced and used in the future. Il R M I K I N -11- 1 1 bf. -Q W.

After a series of accidents which resulted in the loss of three promising freshmen, the team rounded into what promises to be one of the fastest teams in this section. Deter- mined to take advantage of the new ruling which eliminated the center jump, Coach Elberfeld has stressed the fact that speed is all essential in the development of a winning team. With eleven veterans to use as a nucleus for next year's team, Mechanics Institute is looking forward to a highly successful season. We all Wish Coach Elberfeld luck and hope the coming season results in the success which he so rightly deserves. R R M I K , I N BASKETBALL FREDDIE JAKOB-TlllS yearls captain, a hard player, always fighting to the last second even though the odds were against us. GUY MUs'rARI-Real proof that good things come in little packages. Flash was always good for a few points. ANGELO SPORTELLI-Lefty's spectacular one-hand shots were the reason for Mr. Brodie's increase in cigar expenses! IDAVE G Ron-A good man on the defense and a sure shot in a pinch! SAM COLUCCIO'A smart player, always on the go. Coochie is sure to go places next year. Bon EVANS-B0ll can toss them in from all corners. A little defensive polish and the coach's worries are over. HARIIY STALEY-Harry is slow but sure! An able ball handler and a good defensive man. WILLIAM SLY-Bill is sure to show plenty of action next year. He will bear watch- ing. Go1uIoN ANDERSON-Andy certainly made the first team step around in practice. He is another who is slated for plenty of action during the coming season. VVILLIAM Da1scoLL-Bill has not muffed a chance yet. His average compares with the best of them where point-getting is concerned. JOHN SIEGFRIED-Jack lost out when he was injured early in the season but he hails from Irondequoit where they grow them big, which means ple11ty in this 1nan's game. FRANCIS FODGE-A little more experience and Fodge should go places. He has a beautiful cut shot that would gladden the heart of any coach! With an experienced group like this, what more could any school ask! So herels to a successful season for 1938-39. H. J. Ilnonm S. LOMBARDO J.

These men attended practice faithfully to the end of the season. ' With the opening of the 1937-38 season only two men remained from the previous year's squad. The new squad therefore had to be organized mainly from Freshmen and Junior men. From this squad a very good team was formed and Mechanics Institute was in a position to schedule six meets. The first problem of the new coach was to build a new team from inexperienced men. The good showing by the team throughout the season proved to the school his ability to overcome this handicap. With only two of our varsity squad leaving, next year looks very promising. Already schools who were previously on Mechanics Institute regular schedule in the past are asking for meets to be scheduled for next year. The varsity squad this year consisted of Fred Druseikis, heavyweight, Jack John- son, 1'75g VValter Navik, 165, Bob Kliefgen, 1555 Leonard Sobel, 145, .lim Castel- lano, 1455 Murray Reinman, 135g Jack Malone, 1263 Edward Blum, 126, Jerry Ricci, 118.

In short, thc bowling squads had an exceptionally successful season. More than 150 men bowled at different times, and at least 120 girls turned out to try their skill with the fifteen-pound balls and ten- pins. Regular bowling sessions took place Mondays, Tuesdays and Thurs- days at the Brick Church alleys. Gutter balls, which wcrc very plentiful early in the season, became conspicuous by their absence before the season ended. R Q M I K I N RIDING WE have all seen the growing interest in riding as an organ- ized sport at the Institute. It is now one of the most popular mixed activities. During the winter season, students kept in good form by riding at the Culver Armory. In the spring the horses ' ' ' ' - ' - ' - b ' . t fed were turned toward the hills, and many enjoyed riding in the out of doors. In March the mem ers s ag a Riding Show, which was most exciting with spills and thrills galore. Officers who planned all of these activities are: Pmvirlzmt, Katherine Valintcourtg V ice-President, Edward Hollidayg Secretary cmd Treasurer, Ruth I-Iobbie. BIKING---HIKING BICYCLE hikes enjoyed their usual popularity this year, with large groups of men and girls from all depart- ' ' - - - ' -ld d ments attending the Saturday afternoon picnic-hikes at Genesee Valley Park. June Naomi Batcht er an Joan Brigham have aeted as group leaders and have been highly sueeessful in organizing the details of these pleasant Saturday afternoon excursions. These hike parties are the grandest mixers for folks who aren't much acquainted outside their own departments. Everybody meets everybody, - and a good time is had by all, from the time the first bike slarls biking' to the time the last hol, dog is gone. Candid eameras are mueh in evidence, and we hazard the guess lhal many a student sc-rapbook will 1-arry pictorial memenlos of the bike-hikes as parl of the reeord ol' happy days al M. l. Il ll M I K I N One Hundred One BASKETBALL GIRLS' basketball look a new lease on life this year, with ahout twenly girls coming onl, for praeliee during the season at Ilriek Church gym, under Miss Eleanor Rehberg as eoaeh. If all the girls were in school all the time, what a team there would be! Doris Hancock, veteran player from the Art Sehool, was eapl tain, and Erma Swarthoul, a snappy player from the Retail freshmen, was manager. Others who have played regularly are l'riseilla Barrett, Irene lletzold, Joan Brigham, Catherine Caryl, Dorothy Duliois, Geraldine Hedlke, Jean Krikby, Grace Kohn, Anna Lyng, Julia Mattison, Marjorie Meffargo, Rosemary Migliozzi, Esc-a Naas, Iietly Sehiefer, Harriet Shed, Betty Sears, Leona Walker, and Thelma York. The girls have played General Hospital freshman nurses, Highland Hospital team, Y. W. C. A. Business Girls, and Nazareth College. With an unusually large nmnher ol' freshman girls on this year's squad, the prospects for next year are promising. SWIMMING Al.'I'IIOUGlI swimming is not as widely popular among the M. I. girls as are some of the other athletic activities, there are many who like nothing better than to gather at the old swimming-hole. They meet on Tuesday afternoons, from l'our-thirty to live, at the Y.W.C.A. pool, with Miss Roma Henry as instructor. About thirt different firls have en'oved the swimmin f class at various times durin 1 the ear, with Esea L, . A Naas and Aliee Flanagan serving aller- nately as group leaders. Among the swimming enthusiasts are lVIargaret Bower, Margaret Clark, Marie Haier, Marion C.

But at the Freshman Mixer, he saw the girl of his dreams. After much sweating, he managed to be introduced only to find his throat feeling full of pussy willows. On the decided night, he went through much anxiety in dressing. A friend had borrowed his best tie, his new white shirt had dirt on the collar, his coat took on a bulging look around the pockets, and his hair persisted in standing up in the back with that little boy look. Breathless from hurry, he dashed into the Dorm and asked in a well-mannered tone, Many I see Betty Beautiful? The first step completed, he sat down on the bench to wait. Five, ten, twenty, thirty minutes passed. Wlas this the night? Nlaybe she would not come down. lVIaybe he had come too early. But, no, Betty soon rushed down the stairs all breathless, too. It was nice to come back a Junior and know the ropes. He met the boys at Rudner's and talked over the sun1n1er with them. Betty passed the drug Store and he dashed out 'to see if he could come over in the evening. Finding he could, he went home and made himself presentable by donning a suit coat. Tearing into the Dorm, he asked for Betty and then wandered off to play a game of ping pong. Betty came down and sought him out. When he came back a Senior, he hurried over to the Dorm. M1's. Vick knew who to ring when she saw him enter. He said, WVonder if Betty will see me? A Frosh came downstairs and said, My lamp wonlt light. Do you think you could fix it?,' So off he went to the sacred realms above and played angel to the wide-eyed Freshman. VVhen Betty came down, he was nowhere to be seen. After searching the main floor thoroughly, she decided to go back up but was surprised to find hin1 coming downstairs. This was a definite turn- about, so there was explaining to be done. An alumnus now, and no Betty. He entered the Dorm and plopped down in the living room. 'l'hen l1e tinkered with the radio. Why did Betty have to work in another city? Would the week-end never come so he could go to see her? He wandered out the door that, several years before, he had entered with awe.

The history ol' the class of '38 is quite usual. Our Fresh year, we were not especially noticed except for our carrots or umbrellas. The student careers quietly began through channels ol' initiation, Fraternities, Sororities, and- athletics. As Juniors, we gained recognition for our participation in student activities, athletics and general school. affairs. Our Junior Prom, which was held at the Powers Hotel, was the most enjoyable event of the year. Members of other classes, faculty and alumni attended. But now we are advanced to the state of dignity and importance- the role of Seniors. We have nearly completed our active life at Mechanics. Credit is due us for having started the Date Bureau at the Dormitory and who would deny that it was not a success? Parties, bike hikes, and dances were held during the year. Then as time for Convocation drew near, so many things happened that we scarcely had time to think. A Dinner dance was held in April. The night before Convocation the Senior Ball set us all in happy mood. On Mzzy 14, 1938, the Seniors were cited for rewards at the Convoca- tion, To make the year complete, the Seniors were initiated Alumni at the banquet given by thc Alumni Association for the class of 1938.

The two Freshman Receptions were a success-the boys were not very bashful at all, and there were actually more freshmen present than uppcrclassmen! We had to be initiated Can unescapable falej. The way those chemical students went in for carrot greens was amazing. hlelhinks the initiation committee expected a husky crop of feminine students, for those be-ribboned bricks were most cumbersome and weighty, Cmore weighty than any thinking we have had to do sincej. A Dance!! Free admission!! The class of '39 set a precedent and had a grand time doing it. ' J fmuary 1937 Not a thing of importance happened Cunless you could count our not attending basketball games and Study technique classesj until the Spring when seventy-five dollars was given to the Red Cross for Flood Relief. Septcmlwr 1937 At last we are upper classmen. The social events see111 more numerous than last year what with the Sweater Dance and Art League party on the same evening, and then the Dorm Formal. .lanruary 1938 Finally the event ol' our social season, the Junior Prom, becomes a reality after much hard work. It goes over, Qsocially not financiallyl. We were very glad to see so many faculty members present. Our attendance at basketball games increases and the 11oise also. The Art Students have good lungs and the Meehanicals sure run them a close second. VVhen the two groups got together at the last home game-oh! lllafy 1.938 Having spent two happy, carefree years, we realize that we are about to faee new responsibility as the dignity of the Senior Class is showing itself upon the horizon. lVe, too, attended Convocation and now feel capable of our new duties as Seniors.

Upperclassmen, dropping from their heights in an effort to make us feel at home, gave us a Get-acquainted dance on September 11th. After that one nite, returning to their former position, they had our feminine members donning bonnets and totin' nipple bottles, while the stronger sex had added to their sartorial elegance a two or three-karat boutonniere consisting of two or three carrots, ferns and all. Having become acquainted, tho', we liked ourselves so much that we decided to organize and be one big happy familyf' Lowell Miller, Richard Williamson, Thelma Morris, and Donald Spencer were elected president, vice-president, secretary and treasurer respectively. Then, in the way of a celebration, we, the people, had our dance. Held at Eastman Hall, on November 5, 1937, and christened The Freshmen's Frisky Frolic, it was conceded to be the best meet', of its kind ever held at the hall. Still rolling in success, we made a quick decision, and one 'week later found us at the Arena with friends and upperclassmen whom we had invited to our ball bearing blind, a roller skating party which netted us the semi-huge profit of 550000. Those invitations had a price tag attached but at bargain prices. We surely were not fools at our F rosh Spring Informal. Held April 1, the outstanding feature was Evangeline Nash, better known as Evvy. Such events passed, and with a complete ticketn arranged for the rest of the year, including a Theatre Party, a breakfast hike to High- land Park, and one of those mile a minute spaghetti suppers, we feel certain that we will, or have already thoroughly whipped the tradition, that a freshman class never does anything.
